The Division currently consists of eleven faculty who have expertise in breast surgical oncology. The Director will have oversight and responsibilities for all breast surgical oncology services offered at the main medical center and affiliate locations. Faculty provide expert clinical care, train medical students, general surgery residents, as well as fellows in the Society of Surgical Oncology-approved breast surgical oncology fellowship as well as fellows in an ACGME complex surgical oncology fellowship.
